Dale,
Maxton is in North Carolina, about 40 minutes east of Rockingham.
Looking on most maps, follow Rt 74 east to the town of Laurinburg, the
airport where we race is well marked. The first meet of the year is slated
for April 1st and 2nd of 2000. There are hotels in town that give racers a
break or you can camp out at the track. Ya got plenty of time to get ready,
hope to see you next year.
Another Dale,
Crew Chief, OFOS Racing.
